This bill proposes several updates to the Arizona Revised Statutes regarding special license plates. It introduces a new section, 28-2470.27, which will allow for the issuance of youth charity special plates, contingent upon a payment of $32,000 to the department by December 31, 2025. The design of these plates will be determined by the payer, subject to department approval. Additionally, the bill establishes a youth charity special plate fund, which will receive donations and fees associated with these plates, with specific guidelines on fund administration and allocation to qualified entities that support youth in Arizona.

The bill also modifies existing statutes by deleting references to the previous upper limit of special plate sections (28-2470.26) and replacing them with the new section (28-2470.27). It clarifies the distribution of fees collected from special plates, specifying that $8 will be allocated for administration and $17 as an annual donation. Furthermore, it mandates that the department deposit these fees into the state highway fund and the newly created youth charity special plate fund, ensuring that the funds are continuously appropriated for their intended purposes.
